In his lifetime, the opera composer Fromental Halévy was considered the leader of the French school; his admirers included Wagner, Berlioz, and later Mahler. Today, he is chiefly remembered for his grand tragic opera La Juive (1835). Halévy, a native of Paris, was active when the French capital was at the centre of the operatic world. His 30 operas worked within established genres of grand opéra and opéra-comique, and many of them attained considerable popularity across Europe and the wider world (such as La Reine de Chypre 1841, Charles VI 1843, Les Mousquetaires de la reine 1846, and Le Val d'Andorre 1848). Although acclaimed in their day, most have not been staged for decades.This study throws light on this shadowy figure, looking at his life, contemporary opinion about him, and, most importantly, his operas. Each one is examined in terms of its origin, libretto, musical features, and place in the vibrant critical journalism of mid-19th century France. The book provides musical examples and something of the rich iconography that accompanied the creation of his works.

This book provides a detailed picture of the institutionalist movement in American economics concentrating on the period between the two World Wars. The discussion brings a new emphasis on the leading role of Walton Hamilton in the formation of institutionalism, on the special importance of the ideals of 'science' and 'social control' embodied within the movement, on the large and close network of individuals involved, on the educational programs and research organizations created by institutionalists and on the significant place of the movement within the mainstream of interwar American economics. In these ways the book focuses on the group most closely involved in the active promotion of the movement, on how they themselves constructed it, on its original intellectual appeal and promise and on its institutional supports and sources of funding.

Première édition de la correspondance intégrale de Geneviève Straus avec ses cousins Halévy, en particulier avec Ludovic qui fut un interlocuteur constant de 1862 à 1908. La nature même des sources que constitue cette correspondance intime a permis d’établir, au rythme des échanges épistolaires, une biographie de Geneviève Halévy-Bizet-Straus, de révéler des événements ignorés de sa vie, de connaître les circonstances qui ont déterminé son destin et les chemins par lesquels l’épouse de Georges Bizet est devenue madame Straus, l’amie et l’égérie de Proust, et de bien d’autres. Des milieux du spectacle aux coulisses des théâtres, musiciens et aussi actrices de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle nous apparaissent sous les feux de la rampe comme dans leur intimité. De Nice annexée depuis peu, de Paris assiégé puis bouleversé par la Commune, Geneviève et Ludovic Halévy s’écrivent régulièrement. Dans leur correspondance, toute la société d’alors défile, au rythme de leurs engagements artistiques et professionnels, de leurs relations d’amitié, voire de haine au moment de l’Affaire Dreyfus. Parents, amis, relations composent un monde cosmopolite où se mêlent des personnages du Second Empire, aristocrates, académiciens et hommes politiques, artistes, écrivains, célébrités du moment et gloires confirmées par le temps. Cette correspondance propose une perception immédiate, riche, une vision « à chaud » des événements avant qu’ils ne deviennent l’Histoire avec en toile de fond, la société parisienne saisie sur le vif.

This urban and architectural study of Aleppo, a center of early modern global trade, draws upon archival and narrative texts, architectural evidence, and contemporary theoretical discussions of the relation between imperial ideology, urban patterns and rituals, and architectural form. The first two centuries of Ottoman rule fostered tremendous urban development and reorientation through judiciously sited acts of patronage. Monumental structures endowed by Ottoman officials both introduced a new imperial architecture from Istanbul and incorporated formal elements from the local urban visual language. By viewing the urban and social contexts of these acts, tracing their evolution over two centuries, and examining their discussion in Ottoman and Arabic sources, this book proposes a new model for understanding the local reception and adaptation of imperial forms, institutions and norms.
